Elise Neal has reportedly quit Hollywood Divas.

Via published reports, a light fixture struck Elise while shooting a scene for the show at a bowling alley.

According to published reports, “Hollywood Divas” actress Elise Neal has joined the cast of Lifetime’s upcoming Aaliyah biopic.

The newly minted reality star will take on the role of iconic R&B singer Gladys Knight, who few people knew was related to Aaliyah via marriage.

“Aaliyah: Princess of R&B,” has been plagued with casting problems since it was first announced earlier this year. Zendaya Coleman was originally set to play the singer but backed out when public outcry apparently became too much.read more » » » »

Aside from her new role in the upcoming TV One comedy “Belles,” actress/singer Elise Neal is also set to launch her own signature collection of hair extensions by the same name. Elise says California Lace Wigs & Weaves tapped her to create something “new and unique” and with that request “Hollywood Belles by Elise Neal” was born. Pieces from Elise’s line will range between $20-$250 and will feature both real and synthetic hair and will be featured prominently on her new show when it airs in January 2013.

FYI: Did you know Elise’s new show also stars “Basketball Wives” resident troublemaker Tami Roman? According to Elise, “No matter what the public may think of Tami, one thing can’t be denied, the girl can act.”

“A.N.T. Farm” actress Elise Neal is featured in the latest issue of Kontrol Magazine.

The Memphis, Tennessee native, who also counts singing and dancing as one of her many talents, will reportedly return for the second season of her Disney show and will have her role as mother of the lead character, Chyna, expanded.

Despite her busy acting schedule, Elise says she feels as if the roles she play do not challenge her enough. Thus she is working on her own screenplay “Timeless,” which she hopes to take to Broadway.

“I’m sick of people not seeing all of these different sides of me,” she said. “I really didn’t have any desire to be an actress at all. I started out in Broadway and off Broadway productions and musicals. Timeless’ will finally let people know everything about me, who I am, and what I do.”

I had no idea actress Elise Neal was back on television until last night. I was watching A.N.T. Farm (Disney Channel) with my daughter when I discovered she plays the mother of lead character Chyna Parks (China Anne McClain).

China, best known for her role in Tyler Perry’s many productions, got her own show about a year ago and just recently the show was renewed for a second season.

As for Elise, her role is listed as recurring and she has so far appeared in only four of the shows 21 episodes. Still, it was great to see such a talented actress, singer and dancer back on television.

Elise’s last few projects have all ended abruptly or just never come to fruition. Her UPN comedy “All of Us” was canceled after three seasons, however Elise left after season two under dubious circumstances.

The 45-year old Memphis native was also scheduled to appear in a VH1 reality series tentatively titled “Single, Sexy & Starving,” which appears to have morphed into what we now know as “Single Ladies.”

Her group Assorted Flavors also had their single “Don’t Cha” stolen by the Pussycat Dolls.

Despite the setbacks, Elise has recently finshed up work on four films, including “Lord All Men Can’t Be Dogs” with Vivica A. Fox and Johnny Gill.

Elise Neal and “Single Ladies” actor D.B. Woodside are gracing separate covers of the September issue of Denim Magazine.

It is interesting that Elise would be chosen to partake in a double cover with D.B., mainly because her name has been thrown around as a potential replacement for Stacy Dash, who is rumored to have been fired from “Single Ladies” after the first season.
